Assume that automobile accidents at a dangerous intersection occur according to a Poisson process at the rate of 3 accidents per

week. Furthermore, the num- ber of people seriously injured in an accident has a Poisson distribution with mean 2 and is independent of the other accidents. Find the mean and standard deviation of the number of serious injuries over a one year's time.

Answer:

The mean number of serious injuries over a one year's time is of 104 and the standard deviation is of 10.2

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

\mu is the mean in the given interval. The standard deviation is the square root of the mean.

Find the mean and standard deviation of the number of serious injuries over a one year's time.

Per week, mean \mu = 2

A year has approximately 52 weeks, so, the mean is \mu = 2*52 = 104, and the standard deviation is \sqrt{104} = 10.2

5. The students are trying to determine the distance between two particular
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

The actual distance between the cities is 211.67 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The map key indicates that 4.5 cm is equivalent to 75 cm.

Now, to find the actual distance between the cities if the cities are 12.7 cm apart on the map.

Let the actual distance be x.

So, we set a proportion to find the actual distance:

4.5:12.7 = 75:x.

<em>Changing into fractions.</em>

\frac{4.5}{12.7} =\frac{75}{x}

<em>By cross multiplication we get:</em>

4.5x=952.5

<em>Dividing both sides by 4.5 we get:</em>

x=211.67

Therefore, the actual distance between the cities is 211.67 cm.

If you can run 2/5 of a mile in 1/2 hour, how far can you run in 1 1/2 hours?​
forsale [732]

Answer:

1 1/5 or 6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

So you get 2/5 every 1/2 hour so take the amount you have and times it by 3.

43x+ 67y = -24 and 67x + 43y = 24 solve
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

  (x, y) = (1, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll write these equations in general form, then solve using the cross-multiplication method.

  43x +67y +24 = 0

  67x +43y -24 = 0

∆1 = (43)(43) -(67)(67) = -2640

∆2 = (67)(-24) -(43)(24) = -2640

∆3 = (24)(67) -(-24)(43) = 2640

These go into the relations ...

  1/∆1 = x/∆2 = y/∆3

  x = ∆2/∆1 = -2640/-2640 = 1

  y = ∆3/∆1 = 2640/-2640 = -1

The solution is (x, y) = (1, -1).

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The cross multiplication method isn't taught everywhere. The attachment explains a bit about it. Our final relationship changes the order of the fractions to 1, x, y from x, y, 1. That way, we can use the equation coefficients in their original general-form order. (The fourth column in the 2×4 array of coefficients is a repeat of the first column.)

Lucy had math and reading homework tonight. Lucy can solve each math problem in 5 minutes and she can read each page in 2.5 minu
drek231 [11]

Answer:

x=18,y=6,  graph is there for reference.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

x is the number of math problem Lucy solved.

y is the number of  pages she read.

She can do each math problem in  5 minutes, therefore she can solve x number of questions into 5 \times x=5x minutes.

She can read each page in 2.5 minutes, therefore she can read y pages in 2.5y minutes.

As per given detail,

5x+2.5y=105 equation 1.

And,

It is given that number of math problems Lucy solved is 3 times the number of pages she read.

x=3y equation 2.

We need to find x and y intercept of each of the equation to graph them.

For x-intercept put y=0

We will get x=\frac{105}{5} =21

Thus the point is (21,0)

Let us find y-intercept by assuming x=0

we get y=\frac{105}{2.5} =42

Thus the point is (42,0)

Join these two points.

Similarly considering the other equation x=3y

Here x-intercept would be at y=0

We will get x=0

Thus the point is (0,0)

Let us assume on more point, say x=30 , we get y=10

Thus the point is (30,10)

Join these two points.

We will get a point of intersection at (18,6)

Thus x=18 and y=6
